sca period SCA فترة "أس.س.أى" ---فترة Explanation: http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:LfwScwnqpZgJ:www.cynnaba... The SCA is the Society for Creative Anachronism, which is a group dedicated to researching and recreating pre-17th-century history in the present. We concentrate on the European Middle Ages and Renaissance but other cultures and earlier time periods are also studied and recreated. Many groups meet weekly, and at these meetings we dance, talk, study, learn, revel, and make plans. But first, let's get a little bit of info about the SCA in general. What is "Anachronism"? An "Anachronism" is something that is out of its proper time frame. "Creative Anachronism" takes the best qualities of the Middle Ages and Selectively re-creates them in the modern world. What is the SCA? The avowed purpose of the SCA is the study and recreation of the European Middle Ages, its crafts, sciences, arts, traditions, literature, etc. The SCA "period" is defined to be Western civilization before 1600 AD, concentrating on the Western European High Middle Ages. Under the aegis of the SCA we study dance, calligraphy, martial arts, cooking, metal work, stained glass, costuming literature... well, if they did it, somebody in the SCA does it. As you can probably guess, the thing that separates the SCA from a Humanities 101 class is the active participation in the learning process. To learn costuming, you design and build costumes. To learn SCA infantry fighting, you make armor, weapons, shields, etc., and put them on and go learn how it feels to wear them when somebody is swinging a (rattan) sword at you. To learn brewing, you make (and sample!) your own wines, meads and beers. You will frequently hear a SCA person describe the SCA as recreating the Middle Ages "as they ought to have been." In some ways this is true -- we have few plagues, indoor plumbing, few peasants. In the dead of winter we have other things to eat than King's venison, salted pork and dried tubers. However, a better description is that we are selectively recreating medieval culture, choosing elements of the culture that interest and attract us. |
